Last night the Cavaliers brought Cleveland its first major sports championship since 1964--and while there was obvious reason for LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and friends to celebrate, one of the people who joined them on the floor of
Oracle Arena came as a bit of a surprise: Usher.

The internet wondered aloud why the singer had joined the Cavs players, and the answer is actually quite simple. As I wrote in 2014, Usher acquired part of the team in 2005.

“I know I have the talent to entertain,” he told FORBES more than a decade ago. “Now I just want to be a great businessman.”

Back then, we estimated that Usher had invested some $9 million in the team, which would have given him roughly a 1% stake. But owner Dan Gilbert, who purchased the Cavs for $375 million around the same time, has been steadily increasing his total, and it's unclear if Usher's stake has been diluted along the way.

Two years ago a Cavs rep confirmed to FORBES that Usher still owned a piece of the team, but wouldn't say how much; a spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment today.

In any case, Usher's investment is looking quite savvy: the Cavs are now worth $1.1 billion by our latest count, nearly four times the valuation around the time he bought his stake.
